Relativistic Gravitational Impedance and the Dynamic Equivalence of the Cosmic Dark Sector Components

Authors: Jozsef Kerenyi
Comments: 4 Pages.

This paper introduces an alternative, field-impedance-based cosmological model that couples the dynamic mass increase of special relativity with the energy transfer processes of the gravitational field. We demonstrate that the time-dependent relativistic mass change (dm/dt) of a linearly accelerating point mass generates a direct energy flow through the free-space gravitational impedance (Z_g = G/c). We show that the sign and magnitude of the transmitted power depend directly on the scalar product of the velocity and acceleration vectors (v . a). Consequently, the model offers a natural, unified explanation for both dark energy (energy-emission phase) and dark matter (energy-absorption phase) across local and cosmic scales, resolving observational frame asymmetries through the analogy of the twin paradox.

Pillars in Cosmology: Big Bang Model vs. World—Universe Model

Authors: Vladimir S. Netchitailo
Comments: 14 Pages.

Modern cosmology is based on an extensive body of astronomical observations interpreted through theoretical models. The expansion of the Universe, Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (MBR), primordial abundances of light elements, and large-scale structure are commonly regarded as principal observational pillars of the Big Bang Model (BBM) and its modern ΛCDM formulation. This terminology raises a fundamental methodological question: Can an astronomical observation itself constitute a pillar of a physical cosmological theory?In this paper, we distinguish astronomical observation from physical explanation and propose criteria that a genuine pillar of cosmology should satisfy. A pillar should provide a physical mechanism for an observed phenomenon, quantitatively account for its principal measurable properties, lead to independently testable predictions, and not depend critically upon unidentified physical entities or unresolved fundamental discrepancies.The four conventional pillars of BBM are examined according to these criteria. Cosmic expansion is accurately described mathematically, but the Hubble tension remains unresolved. MBR is interpreted within the hot early-Universe framework, but its present temperature is an observational input rather than an independently calculated consequence of the six-parameter ΛCDM model, while large-angle anomalies remain under investigation. Primordial light-element abundances are inferred from present astronomical observations rather than directly observed at the primordial epoch, and the lithium problem remains unresolved. Large-scale structure is successfully modeled statistically, but its formation depends critically on Cold Dark Matter, whose microscopic nature and origin remain unknown, while the fundamental nature of Dark Energy is likewise unresolved.These conventional pillars are then compared with the proposed physical pillars of the World—Universe Model (WUM). Particular attention is given to physical mechanisms, interconnected cosmological parameters, quantitative calculations, and predictions made before subsequent observations.The purpose of this comparison is not to determine which model accommodates a larger collection of observations, but to address a more fundamental question: What should constitute a genuine pillar of a physical theory of the Cosmos?

The Self-Referential Light Universe: An Emergent Quantum Gravity Framework from U(1) Gauge Fields on Spin Networks

Authors: Holger Troitzschel
Comments: 5 Pages.

This paper introduces a self-referential cosmological framework in which spacetime ge-ometry, matter, and gravitational interactions are proposed to emerge exclusively from theself-observation of quantized electromagnetic fields. By coupling U(1) gauge fields directlyto the discrete graph structure of Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG), a non-linear feedback loopbetween energy density and spatial volume is established. We define a quantum Hamil-tonian operator for light acting on spin-network states and argue that electromagnetic fluxexcitations can alter geometric quantum numbers. In addition, we explore whether fermionicmatter can emerge as topological braids of light ribbons. Physical implications are discussed,including a possible resolution of singularities via a stable "Quantum Geon" configuration,as well as testable predictions concerning alternatives to particle dark matter and signatures in primordial gravitational waves.

The Normalized Causal-Past Four-Volume of FLRW Spacetimes as a Diagnostic of the Cosmic Expansion History

Authors: Rafael Maya
Comments: 18 Pages. Code for computations presented in the research paper is available upon request

The invariant four-volume of an event's causal past is a well-defined geometric functional of a Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker expansion history. We study its normalized form, C(T) = V4(T)/V4(To), and the family of causal-fraction ages Tf defined by C(Tf) = f. We give a closed observable form written entirely in H(z), the exact self-similar limit Tr→ Tof1/4. and an O(N) moment decomposition enabling per-sample evaluation on posterior chains. Two structural results follow. The dimensionful statistic is almost completely degenerate with the cosmic age (posterior-scaled gradient alignment cos = 0.9991 in flat wow CDM), whereas the dimensionless ratio pf = Tr/To is exactly independent of the overall expansion scale. Its sensitivity kernel K(z) = 8pf/ w(z) possesses a single sign-change node migrating with f, and at f. = 0.2627 the kernel's lobes cancel exactly: pf is simultaneously Ho-free and first-order blind to wo, a differential sensor of dark energy across z ~ 0.40 that within flat ACDM tracks the matter-dark-energy handover, 2A(z) = 0.46 ± 0.03. Transforming every stored sample of the public DESI DR2 BAO+CMB+supernova wow CDM chains yields T1/6 medians displaced by 40-46 Myr (2.5-2.9 posterior standard deviations) from the Planck ACDM value T1/6 = 8.6452 Gyr, compressing the evolving-dark-energy preference into one scalar, and we freeze three falsifiable predictions for DESI DR3 and Euclid. A companion paper derives the asymptotic behavior of fixed four-volume increments in an eternally accelerating future.

Unbounded Causal-Past Four-Volume and Asymptotic Volume Ticks in de Sitter and /CDM Spacetimes

Authors: Rafael Maya
Comments: 8 Pages. Code for computations presented in the research paper is available upon request.

A common intuition holds that an eternally accelerating universe, having a finite event horizon, should accumulate only a finite amount of causally connected spacetime. We show by direct integration that this is incorrect: in de Sitter space the causal-past four-volume of a comoving observer grows without bound, V4(t) ~ (4πc/3H) (t - H¹) as t , even though the past-light-cone radius saturates at c/H. Consequently, crossings of any fixed four-volume increment AV > 0 form an infinite sequence whose proper-time spacing converges to the finite constant At = 3H AV4/(4πc¹). For a flat ACDM continuation with Planck-2018 baseline parameters and the normalization AV4 = f V4(To) with f = 1/6, the first future increment completes 0.580 Gyr from the present (cosmic age 14.375 Gyr) and the spacing decreases monotonically toward At = 40.1996 Myr. The limit discriminates among cosmic futures: evolving or decaying dark energy, phantom finite-time singularities, and recollapse generically break the uniform-spacing asymptote, which is conditional on the approach to a de Sitter phase.

Multi-Site Observational Verification of Non-Axial Metric Shear in GW170817 Open Strain Sheets via a Unified Scale-Invariant Fluid Continuum

Authors: Frank W. Brown
Comments: 4 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Please cite listed scientific references)

I present a multi-scale empirical data appendix verifying the field equations of Curved Temporal Inertia Cosmology (CTIC). This 1-page report compiles two automated verification ledgers running natively within the open-source repository. First, a sequential 3-detector LIGO/Virgo matched-filter analysis of event GW170817 targets the model's non-axial metric twisting shear envelope (h_omega) using a stable time-domain RMS normalization layer. The network trace reveals an unmistakable, high-confidence Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) peak of 28.2123 at LIGO Hanford (H1), an expected sub-threshold validation of 7.3335 SNR at LIGO Livingston (L1), and a baseline antenna blind-spot trace of 5.4227 SNR at Advanced Virgo (V1). Second, the report maps a macroscopic coordinate domain ledger tracking a triaxial ellipsoidal subcluster grid across 40 morphologically diverse galaxy clusters, yielding a uniform observational deviation margin of < 2.0% using strictly 100% visible baryonic mass parameters.

Galileo Invariance in Maxwell’s Original Treatise: Refuting [?] the Postulates of Special Relativity Through the Restoration of Total Field Derivatives

Authors: Arunas Ostasevicius
Comments: 5 Pages.

The paper presents a fundamental historical and mathematical exposure of the kinematic foundations of the Special Theory of Relativity (SR). Based on a rigorous analysis of the original text of J. C. Maxwell’s Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism (1873, paragraphs 600—601), it is proved that the original equations of the electromagnetic field initially contained total (material) time derivatives and convective field drift operators (v · ∇). It is demonstrated that Maxwell’s original system was naturally invariant under classical Galilean transformations in absolute Euclidean space. The study establishes that SR arose as an artificial geometric artifact (Lorentz transformations, Minkowski metric) designed to compensate for the fatal castration of the field equations by O. Heaviside, who forced the convective velocity of the coordinate axes to zero and replaced the total derivative with a partial one. The physical reality of Maxwell’s convective drift is confirmed by the one-way mirrorless experiments of S. Marinov and R. De Witte, completely rendering the metric space-time paradoxes of modern physics unnecessary.James Clerk Maxwell, Oliver Heaviside, Galileo invariance, total derivative, convective term, Stefan Marinov, Roland De Witte, Special Relativity critique.

Dark Matter and Dark Energy as Twin Residues of the QCD Phase Transition

Authors: Bing Zhang, Aizhong Jia
Comments: 29 Pages.

The Graviton Condensation Cosmology (GCC) framework posits that macroscopic gravity emerges from the condensation of spin-2 collective quadrupole excitations (GQR phonons) in nuclear matter. We extend this framework to address the dark sector: we propose that both dark matter and dark energy originate as residues of the QCD phase transition at T_c ≈ 156.5 MeV. Dark matter is identified with multi-glueball bound states — the unique GCC-compatible candidate after a systematic exclusion of all Standard Model and beyond-Standard-Model particles, which lack either QCD substructure or a spin-2 quadrupole channel. The relic abundance Ω_gb h² naturally matches the observed Ω_DM h² ≈ 0.12 for formation fractions f_gb ∼ (1—10) × 10u207bu2076 across three mass windows (m_gb ≈ 0.78—2.4 GeV). Dark energy arises from the residual uncondensed fraction (1 − ε) ∼ 10u207bu2074u2075 of the spin-2 condensate energy. While this value is accommodated within the non-linear saturation framework, its precise first-principles pre—diction remains an open theoretical challenge; it constitutes a well-defined target for future development of the saturation dynamics. We show that the Landau parameter Fu2082 reaches −4.97 ± 1.25 (phenomenological estimate) or −3.65 ± 0.41 (conservative RPA with realistic nuclear forces), both approaching the Pomeranchuk instability thresh—old Fu2082 = −5 with critical density n_c/nu2080 ≈ 1.0—1.2. Finite-temperature enhancement mechanisms at the QCD crossover provide the bridge to the threshold. The framework yields falsifiable predictions including a single nanohertz GW peak (5—15 nHz), distinctive 21-cm power spectrum suppression, and CMB lensing signatures, linking the dark sector to ongoing experiments without introducing new particles or energy scales beyond QC.

A Spin(1,3) Rapidity Theory for Galactic Rotation Curves: Kinematic and Maurer--Cartan Derivations of the Constant-Lagrangian Condition

Authors: E. P. J. de Haas
Comments: 58 Pages. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21844437

The empirical Constant-Lagrangian (CL) relation has previously been shown to reproduce a substantial fraction of observed galactic rotation curves, but until now it has lacked a theoretical foundation. This paper derives the CL condition from a gravitational rapidity field that generates a local Spin(1,3) rotor describing the vacuum flow surrounding a galaxy.Two independent but complementary geometric branches emerge from the same gravitational rotor. The first is a kinematic branch, in which the rapidity field generates the gravitational four-velocity and its convective acceleration. The second is a Maurer—Cartan branch, in which the differential geometry of the rotor itself is described through its Lie-algebra-valued connection. Although these branches describe different geometric objects, both converge on the same invariant isorapidity condition, expressing the conservation of the combined radial and azimuthal rapidity along the flow. In the weak-field limit, this invariant reduces directly to the Constant-Lagrangian relation governing the exterior galactic rotation curve.The construction is developed in its native BQ (biquaternion) algebra and subsequently translated into three standard mathematical languages: the Weyl representation of Clifford algebra Cl(1,3), Spacetime Algebra, and the conventional Dirac spin formalism. The agreement between these independent formulations demonstrates that the resulting isorapidity condition is a representation-independent consequence of the underlying Spin(1,3) rotor geometry rather than an artifact of a particular algebraic framework.Beyond providing a theoretical basis for the empirical Constant-Lagrangian postulate, the paper presents a unified rotor-based description in which both the kinematics of galactic vacuum flow and its Maurer—Cartan transport originate from the same gravitational rapidity field.
